Chapter 292: The three holes are full of rebels!
“Your Majesty, Marquis Jing’an and Ge Yan and Ge Yuan of the Gexian Sect have already gone to the Kong family in Qufu!”

“A statue from the Ziwei Division also went with them.”

Liu Yashan’s existence is a royal secret and cannot be known to ordinary people.

It just refers to the worship of Ziweisi.

Dai Quan finished speaking.

The cabinet fell silent again.

This time even Lin Ruhai looked surprised.

A bloody battle took place outside Nanjing City, and three semi-saints of the Kong family were killed on the spot!

Now he has to lead ten fifth-level masters to the Kong family’s territory in Qufu.

Needless to say, what Jia Cong was doing was of great urgency.

It can’t be to worship the great sage, right?
“This… Marquis Jing’an…”

The chief minister of the cabinet, Li Ge Lao, was dumbfounded. Even though he had been in the officialdom for so many years, he had risen to a position second only to the emperor in the court.

At this moment, Lord Li felt that he was about to lose the ability to speak and had no idea what to say.

audacious in the extreme?

Cruel and ruthless?

Decisive to kill?
Cutting off the roots?

A lot of words flashed through my mind in an instant, but none of them seemed appropriate.

Until the last word came into my mind…

What is revenge?

This is the true revenge!

When poor, they scheme constantly; when rich, their entire family will be executed!
So what about the Holy Bloodline?

So what if Confucianism and Taoism are the first?

If you provoke me, I will kill all your descendants and wipe out your entire family!

“This Confucianism is really going to change!”

After mumbling for a long time, finally only one word of emotion came out of Li Ge Lao’s mouth.

“My dear ministers, please continue your discussion. I will go discuss this matter with my father first!”

Emperor Shunde pondered for a moment and then spoke to everyone.

This was the first time that Emperor Shunde took the initiative to discuss matters with Emperor Kaiyuan, the retired emperor, after he began to delegate power.

Without him!

This matter is really too big!

Fortunately, the deaths of the three semi-saints of the Kong family were unknown to ordinary people.

If all the Kong family members in Qufu were massacred.

Who knows how big a disturbance it will cause among the scholars of the world!
After saying this, Emperor Shunde left in a hurry.

But there was still silence in the cabinet.

At this time, there were many things to do, such as organizing a new army, restoring the military examination, and marching south.

Compared with what is happening right now, it’s not a big deal.

After a long silence, Lin Ruhai finally let out a long sigh.

“My Lords, Marquis Jing’an’s trip to Qufu will surely cause unrest among scholars across the country.”

“Let’s get ready early.”

“That’s what Lord Lin said!”

“This is the words of an old and mature man who is planning for the country.”

“We have limited abilities and cannot eradicate rebellion for the country like Marquis Jing’an did, but we should do our best to eliminate future troubles for the Marquis!”

When everyone heard this, they quickly spoke up to agree.

Even the cabinet chief, Li Ge Lao, was no exception.

The Kong family, which had stood for countless years, was now defeated by Jia Cong and was on the verge of collapse and even wiped out.

Lin Ruhai’s status at this time had already surpassed that of many cabinet ministers.

Not to mention that his own daughter is at the fifth level!
……

Qufu
Because of the existence of the Kong family, they have an extremely high status among scholars all over the world!
It is praised as a place full of cultural elegance and flourishing Confucianism and Taoism!
Poems and rituals are passed down, farming and reading are passed down from generation to generation, filial piety, respect for elders, diligence and thrift are practiced, and people do not pick up lost items on the road.

It seems that the scene of Great Harmony praised in Confucianism and Taoism can be seen everywhere in Qufu.

The Kong family occupies a vast area, but it can be roughly divided into three parts!

Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple, and Confucius Cemetery!
They are collectively known as the Three Confucius Temples and are regarded as holy places of Confucianism and Taoism by countless scholars.

The Kong Mansion is the residence of the Kong family. It covers a vast area and is home to a large number of direct descendants of the Kong family.

As for the Confucius Temple, it is a place for worshiping Confucius.

It is not open to the public on weekdays, and only on very few special days such as Confucius’ birthday every year will a grand-scale worship ceremony be held!

It is presided over by the contemporary Yansheng Duke himself.

Great scholars from all over the world were invited to watch the ceremony, while ordinary scholars could only watch from afar.

The Konglin is the ancestral tomb of the Kong family and is protected by a mysterious power.

Countless sages of the Kong family since Confucius are buried here.

In addition to the Confucius Forest, the Kong family built many palaces and created many scenic spots.

Every day, countless scholars come from all over the country to worship Confucius in the main hall outside the Confucius Forest and to make their resolutions clear!

Especially after some scholars “happened” to achieve a breakthrough when they were offering sacrifices to Confucius’s Forest.

Konglin became even more famous.

……

But today, in the Confucius Mansion.

The busy servants, and even the direct descendants of the Kong family, were very cautious in their every move.

Duke Yansheng Kong Yanjin has been in a bad mood these days!
More than a dozen servants and maids who made mistakes accidentally had been beaten to death.

Even five or six of the younger generations of the clan were severely punished.

There is absolutely no trace of the “benevolence and forgiveness” that the Confucian family has always advocated!
As the sun sets, another day is about to pass.

Many servants breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a golden light fell into the study of Duke Yansheng in the backyard of the Confucius Mansion.

Kong Yanjin, who was holding a copy of the Analects and seemed to be reading it, but in fact his attention was not on the book, suddenly raised his head.

“Grandfather, you are back?”

“How’s it going?”

“Has Jia Cong been executed?”

Kong Yanjin had been feeling uneasy these past two days, until now he saw that of the four semi-saint ancestors of the Kong family who had gone out together before, only one had returned.

My heart skipped a beat and the feeling of uneasiness suddenly became several times stronger.

“We fell into the trap set by that little Jia Cong. Zong Ren and his men burned their spirits and fought to the death, which bought me a way out!”

“Hurry, Yanjin!”

“Jia Cong may come and kill us at any time.”

“Gather all your direct descendants immediately and head to Konglin!”

“The Kong family will be in seclusion for five hundred years starting today, and all direct descendants of the family will not go out again!”

Kong family’s semi-saint ancestor Kong Bolin had no time to comfort the uneasy Kong Yanjin.

Instead of speaking quickly.

The Confucius Forest covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres.

There are not only thousands of tombs of Kong family ancestors, but also hundreds of buildings and a large number of trees, many of which are valuable spiritual trees.

It is also a retreat route that the Kong family built for themselves, an underground space that stores a huge amount of supplies.

It is enough for the direct descendants of the Kong family to live without worries about food and clothing for hundreds of years.

“Yes, ancestor, I will go and gather the tribesmen now!”

Kong Yanjin didn’t care about anything else after hearing this.

Although retreating to Confucius Forest was hard, it was worth it compared to his own life and the Kong family inheritance.

The life of luxury in the past is nothing.

I was just about to go out and gather my tribesmen.

Above the sky.

“boom!”

“boom!”

“boom!”

The Ten Directions Realm manifested, and powerful auras descended one after another. “I am Jia Cong, the Kong family has committed treason and rebellion, and has surrounded Nanjing City!”

“According to Daqian law, those who rebel will be punished along with their entire clan!”

“No one else, please retreat immediately!”

“Otherwise, you will be treated as an accomplice and executed without mercy!”

Jia Cong’s cold voice sounded, and with the surge of divine power, it spread in all directions.

Confucius Mansion, Confucius Temple, and Confucius Cemetery!
It can be heard clearly in the Three Gorges and Qufu County.

As soon as the words fell, they caused an uproar.

“What? The Kong family actually rebelled openly and surrounded Nanjing City?”

“This… Marquis Jing’an came in person and actually attacked the Kong Mansion directly.”

“Last year, the current Duke Yansheng of the Kong family came to the capital to fight with Marquis Jing’an. Could it be that he is here to take revenge?”

“With thousands of years of heritage, the Kong family is the leader of Confucianism. How could they have been attacked at their doorstep like this before?”

Outside the Confucius Forest, the large number of scholars who came to pay homage to the great sage were instantly excited.

This is really shocking to hear.

How could the Kong family, the leader of Confucianism and Taoism, do something like rebellion?
It would be fine if it was someone else, but no one would believe it.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jia Cong himself is a practitioner of three methods.

He is not only a Taoist deity and a martial arts master, but also one of the most recognized great scholars of his time.

Especially after the establishment of Dongli Academy, it benefited poor scholars all over the world.

His status in the hearts of scholars greatly increased, and he was highly praised among the officials.

Even scholars from prominent families whose own interests were affected did not dare to criticize Jia Cong publicly.

So as to avoid being targeted by the large number of poor scholars.

Would such a person fabricate charges against the Kong family?
This was the first time in countless years that the Kong family had been attacked!

Many students have already considered withdrawing for fear of being implicated as accomplices of the Kong family.

However, there are also scholars who claim to be “clear-headed” and upright.

“Marquis Jing’an, the Kong family is the family of the most holy saint, the blood of our master, how can you treat them as traitors without any evidence?”

“Even if there really is a misunderstanding, it should be investigated by the court. Your Majesty should approve the deprivation of the title first, and then deal with it.”

A newly promoted great scholar, with a righteous demeanor, walks into the air with his feet full of literary energy.

Haoran asked loudly with great enthusiasm.

Leaving a name in history is the dream of countless scholars.

Even though Jia Cong had a bad reputation, it could not scare away those who only wanted to leave a reputation of not fearing power in history and were willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

“Keng!”

Just as he finished speaking, a sword energy flew over!
It passed through the throat and a huge head rose into the sky.

This new great scholar was not given any chance to defend himself, and was killed without even leaving his name.

This move was like a bucket of cold water poured on the heads of some students who had just gotten excited.

It is true that leaving one’s name in history is the greatest honor for a scholar, but one must also have the opportunity to make one’s name known!
“I am here to inform you!”

“I’m not discussing the Kong family’s affairs with you!”

“After one stick of incense, all people within the three caves will be treated as rioters!”

Jia Cong said in a cold voice, stretched out his hand and the sacred seal flew out.

A stream of light fell!
The army to punish evil, the army to eliminate demons, the army to suppress the barbarians, the army to pacify the barbarians, and the army to eliminate bandits!

More than 54,000 soldiers of the First Ghost Army appeared in the five directions of the Kong family.

There are also fifteen fourth-level masters including Black and White Impermanence blocking all directions.

“Although Jing’an Hou is overbearing, he is not a man who speaks nonsense…”

“Brother, what you said is absolutely right. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. I’m afraid there is really something wrong with the Kong family!”

“How can we scholars associate with the rebels and rebels?”

“Even if it does go down in history, it will be a bad name!”

Under the intimidation of numerous masters and a large number of ghost soldiers, Jia Cong didn’t need to say anything to the thousands of scholars outside Confucius Forest.

They talked to each other and found a reasonable excuse for their behavior.

They all walked out of the Confucius Forest and drew a clear line with the Kong family.

What should have been an endless debate was eliminated by Jia Cong’s decisive approach!

……

“Jia Cong, little boy!”

“Do you really want to wipe out the entire Kong family just for a little personal vendetta?”

“My Kong family is not without a strong foundation!”

“Give us one day, and all the members of the Kong family will retreat to Konglin and never come out again in the next five hundred years!”

“Otherwise, even if you die, the Kong family will drag you down with them!”

At this moment, an angry voice was heard from the backyard of the Confucius Mansion.

Kong Bolin, the only semi-saint from the Kong family who escaped outside the city of Nanjing, soared into the air.

Following behind him were Kong Yanjin, the only two remaining great scholars in the Kong family!
“A little personal vendetta?”

“Since your Kong family dares to collude with Westerners and surround Nanjing City!”

“I am acting in accordance with the law. What’s wrong with punishing the entire clan of the rebels?”

“When Kong Yanjin led his men into the capital that day, did he ever think of letting me go?”

“Yesterday outside Nanjing City, your Kong family, Mo family and Westerners gathered ten fifth-level masters. Have you ever thought of letting me go?”

“Do unto others, do not impose on others!”

“Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?”

“As a great and holy family, have you forgotten even the teachings of Confucius?”

Jia Cong’s voice was cold, but the words he said made Kong Bolin so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Using the words of Confucius, question the descendants of Confucius.

This is what is called killing someone and destroying their heart!

“Destroy both jade and stone? Do you think your Kong family deserves that?”

“Whatever resources you have, just use them. I am also very curious about what is hidden in this Confucius Forest!”

Jia Cong said this and turned his gaze to Kong Lin.

Under the protection of a mysterious force, even Jia Cong’s divine eyes could not see the truth.

“Good! Good! Good!”

“That’s it…”

“Jia Cong, you are the one who forced our Kong family to do this!”

Kong Bolin was so angry that he even said “Three Lives Are Good”!
Golden literary energy rises and circles.

It seems like it has touched a certain node.

Four terrifying auras suddenly rose up from the basement of Confucius Mansion!
They are all semi-saints of the fifth realm!

However, they all carried a heavy atmosphere of dusk, and even the golden light in the literary aura had a distinctly dark color.

It is obvious that his life span is coming to an end, so he uses some forbidden means to seal himself and enter a state of suspended animation to delay the arrival of death.

Once the family’s survival is at stake, it can be awakened.

Take one last chance to save the situation and then die.

Among the four semi-saints, two are in the early stage of the fifth realm, and two are in the middle stage of the fifth realm!

But there is no sign of the late fifth realm!

From this we can see the shortcomings of Confucianism, Taoism and Taoism in terms of lifespan compared to Taoism.

Even if their lifespan increases greatly after breaking through the fifth realm, the limited lifespan is still not enough for these semi-saints to break through to a higher realm and extend their lifespan again.

Therefore, whether it is the Kong family, the Mohist family, or the Yan family that had previously taken action against Jia Cong.

Most of the beings in the fifth realm are in the early stage!
In addition to the four semi-saints, there are also twelve great scholars!

“The descendants of the future generations are unfilial, and the Kong family is now facing a crisis of life and death!”

“I have no choice but to awaken all the ancestors to help the Kong family defeat the powerful enemy!”

Kong Bolin spoke loudly.

The four semi-saints and twelve great scholars who had just awakened had no idea how long they had been in suspended animation. A hint of confusion flashed in their eyes after they had just revived.

After seeing the enemy clearly, their pupils suddenly shrank!
The convergence of hundreds of schools of thought into Confucianism and the birth of Confucian principles were actually the result of great efforts made by the Kong family behind the scenes.

I thought that when the Confucian and Taoist principles were formed, the Kong family would prosper.

But I didn’t expect that Jia Cong would force me to this point.

A total of ten fifth-level masters attacked the Kong family!
